T ol dll'whom, it'miylconcem; v 13e itkno'ivn thatl., Nnw'roN J. ANDERsoN,I a citizen of theUnited States of America,

i'esiding at` 'Coifeyvill c, in the county of- Montgomery and State of Kansas, have inyented certain'neuj and useful Improvements in Torches, of which the.` following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompany-ing drawing.

This 'ni/'ention relates to burner torches especially adap'tedfor use in connection with a mixture of acetylene gas and oxygen, vand the .principal object of thesame. isto' pro? vide. a lburner torch'xinfwhich a 'thorough mixtureofthegas and` the oxygen is 'obtained and in Wliiclithe pressure of the oxygenjs such thati'tavill flou from the burner with sufiicientforceto prevent bac-kiring".`

.In carrying out the object of the invention generally stated above it will beunderstood, ofcourse, that Vthe essential features thereof are necessarilysusceptible of changes in details and structural arrangements, one

preferred and practical lembodiment' of;

which is shown in ings, Whereiml Figure 1 is a central vertical sectional view of the improved burner. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 isl a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig4 is a similar'yiew taken on the line 4 4, Fig. 1. v

Referring to said drawings by numerals, it Will be seen that the improved burner torch comprises an externally threaded cylindrical body 1 Which has an elongated reduced extension 2 that terminates in a beveled shoulder 3 from which the inlet neck 4 projects. At its other end, body 1 is provided With an annular flange 6 which is of a larger diameter than said body and from Whose surface the outer externally threaded the 'accompa nying draw extension 7 projects.; The free end 8 of said' extension 7 is preferably rounded. A longitudinal opening 9 extends through body 1 and its extensions 2 and 7. Neck 4 is provided with a langitudinal opening 10 that is a continuation of but smaller yin diameter than opening 9.

A tubular mixing chamber 11 has.its open' end 12 internally threaded and adapted to engage the external threads of body 1, a gasedge of said chamber and .its seat formed by the inner' surface -ofjlflange 6. The'niajor sion 2 in spaced relation The closedupper Patented Nov." 2'2, '1910.'

portion of chamber 11 is substantially thesame diameter asbody 1 and incloses extenket 13 being interposed' betweeiithe outer end 14 of said chamber conforms to the contour of shoulder 3 and neck 4.of extension 2 and incloses the/'same in spaced relation-.so

that a compartmentjlais formed n the closedend of said chamber.- rAfcollar 17 is seated on shoulder 3, said collar being provided With a' gasket18" that binds uponthe bas'eofthe closed end of chamber '11, to pre.

Vent communication betweencompartment 15' and the interior 'of said,-chamben Compartment 15 is providedwvilth a side opening externally threaded endof a pipe 19..hat ex 18-that is 'threaded.forthe'receptionof the tends from asource-o-f oxygen. supply, notl.

shown. 'Mixing ch-amber 11,.is provided With a similar opening 20-.yvitli-yvhich a pipe 2l communicates that extends froma source j of acetylene gas supply, notshown; .E xtension 2 is provided vvithavplurality of regularly spaced;aparttransverse slots 2,2. Whose,

outer Yends communicateivgith-g the spacebetween said extension andchamber 1.1,- the: inner. ends of said slot-s comniunicatingavith longitudinal. passa ge-.9. z l. Preferably :slots L.

are inclined.

A burner tip 23, preferably conical, has a recess 24 formed cent-rally in its inner end said recess being threaded and having a rounded end 25. Said tip is adapted to be fitted over extension 7 and is provided With a centrallongitudinal opening 26 that .forms a coitdsinuation ofopening 9 when said tip is engaged with said'extension. A gasket 27 is' .interposed between the inner end of tip 23 and the outer surface of flange 6. l

It Will be seen from the foregoing that the oxygen under high pressure is discharged into Ycompartment 15 and oyvs through opening 9 to the slots 2,2Where it meets and iningles With the acetylene gas that is discharged from pipe=21 into chamber 11, the gas being preferably under reduced pressure, the mixed fuel flowing through passage or opening 9 to the outer end of burner tip 23 Where it is ignited.

It Will be understood that compartment 14v from body'l so that said'chainber may be i What end compartment removable means carried thoroughly cleaned. .And also that tip 23 ymay be readily detached from extension 7 for a similar purpose, and to ermit the different types of burner tips, to Ee employed. l

claim as my invention is l. .A burner comprising a body havin a reduced extension at one end and a threaded extension at its other end, said body land extensions having a longitudinal passage formed lthrough them, said reduced extension provided with spaced transverse slots that communicate with Said passage, a chamber. carried by said body and surrounding said reduced extension in spaced relation., a collar carried by said reduced extension and scaling the upperend portion of said cham by the surrounded end of said body for sealing said compartment `against communication with the majorportion of -saidchamber, means-for' supplying oxygen to said compartment, means for supplyingI acetylene gas 5to said` chamber, and a urner ti carried by the other end portion of said bo y. I 3. A burner comprising a body provided 40` with a reduced -extension at, one end that extensions,- said bod terminates in a neck, said neck' provided with a beveled shoulder a threaded extension` at the other en'd o'f/'sziid body, said body and extensions having ahlen 'tudinal opening formed through them an said reduced extensions provided with transverse s lots that communicate with said openmg, a chamber,

engaging said body and surrounding the reduced extension in spaced relation, said chamber having a closed end portion that surrounds said neck, means seated on said shoulder for sealing the inner end of said closed end portion to provideea compartment, means for'sup lying loxygen to said compartment, means or supplying acetylene gasl to said chamber, and a burner tip cngaging the threaded extension of said ody.

4.. A burner torch comprising a body pro vided with externally threaded reduced end and extensions provided with a longitu inal vslot and one extension provided with regularly s aced transverse slots that intersect the ongitudin'al slot, a chamber carried by the body and inclosin the transversely slotted extension, in

space relation, a burner tip' for the other extension, means removably seated on the outer end of the slotted extension for dividin the outer end of said chamber into an in ependent sediment compartment, means for supplying oxygen to said compartment, l:gud means for supplying gas to said .cham- In testimony whereof I hereunto aix my signature in presenceof two witnesses.
